《Whose Land Whose Home》是一首苏格兰民谣摇滚,唱的是空荡的山谷和一个从未了结的问题。它追溯到高地清洗(Highland Clearances)——人们被赶离土地,好给绵羊腾出地方——并发现两百年后,同一个问题至今悬而未决。歌曲建立在“捶布歌”(waulking song)的节奏上,配有小提琴、锡笛和博朗鼓,桥段里只有一句盖尔语:Tha sinn fhathast ann,我们还在这里。没有《勇敢的心》式的悲情,只有安静而倔强的尊严。山谷记得。属于“99 Songs of Love, Peace and Rebellion”项目。
Whose Land Whose Home

But the ground remembers what the paper sold every stone in the valley still knows
Whose land, whose hand, whose home we've been asking since they drove us from our own two hundred years and the question stands whose land, whose land, whose land
Now we argue in the pouring rain half of us leaving, half of us staying the same old question, a different year and the glen is still standing here
And the ground remembers what the paper sold every stone in the valley still knows
Whose land, whose hand, whose home we've been asking since they drove us from our own two hundred years and the question stands whose land, whose land, whose land
They took the ground, they banned the tongue but the songs came home and the pipes still sound Tha sinn fhathast ann – we are still here we were never gone, we will not disappear
Whose land, whose hand, whose home we've been asking since they drove us from our own two hundred years and the question stands whose land, whose land, whose land
...and the glen remembers
